    Apologies for posting what seems a very stupid question for my first ever post.

    I've had my 2005 A6 2.0TDI SE for 2 months now and with winter now arrived want to replace the wipers. Went to my local Halfords today for a replacemnt set and they had none and the assistant was a little unhelpful about when new stock would be in.
    Whilst shopping later in Tesco's I noticed they were selling Flat Wipers at half price - however on reverse of the boxes ever car maker seemed to be listed but Audi.

    I have tried scouring online for wipers and seem to have no bother for early A6's but not for 2004 onwards.

    Are wipers for Audi's hard to come by - do only specialist shops sell them - are they expensive

    Have you tried going to Audi?

    It often happens when you try and source wipers from places like Halfords that they make an annoying squeek. I bought a set of my A6 earlier in the year from Audi and the difference they made was fabulous! They weren't THAT dear either.

    With work commitments its a little difficult getting to Audi dealers in Glasgow.
    Also with my previous cars, including BMW's I've been able to get my blades from local Halford's and on a couple of occasions Tesco's - just a little surprised that today I had trouble getting my hands on them.

    Anyway thanks for the quick reply - I'm sure I'll be in Glasgow for Xmas shopping (dragged screaming by the wife no doubt) and will drop into Audi dealers then

    Hi,
    I got some wipers for my 2004 A6 off Ebay --(after cacking myself at price of main dealer ones). seller was uk_bulb_co .The wipers are great and cost £18 delivered .
    They did however send the wrong wipers --but after letting them know and returning the wrong ones to them (along with a piccy of the ones I wanted --they sent the correct ones by return of post).

    Personally I'd avoid the one's from fleabay. I bought a set for my wifes car and they were rubbish. Lasted about 4 months. Waste of money.
